Darwin residents have paused to remember the 77th anniversary of the first wartime attack on Australian soil.
The early morning of February 19, 1942, marked the beginning of a years-long bombardment which continued across northern Australia until November 1943.
About 200 people were killed on the first day.
This year, a plaque has been unveiled which immortalises members from the 2nd and 13th RAAF Hudson Bomber Squadrons who died during World War II.
